Gone to Florida

I will be heading to Florida in the morning. I might update on Sunday night when I return, but most likely Monday. I have every intention of eating good, logging everything I eat and getting at least a few exercises in while I'm down there. Hopefully I stick to those intentions!

Wish me luck!

I'm having a really good morning. I thought I'd weigh myself again since I knew my weight would be off on Sunday b/c of the carb-filled Saturday. The scale read 146.5! That's a total of 3.5 lbs lost. Wow! That really makes me feel like working out is doing something. I also wanted to get a good reading before I headed down to Florida, too. My actual next weigh in won't be until Monday since my flight doesn't get in on Sunday until the evening.

I'm sad I didn't get cardion in last night. By going to Florida I will miss one entire body workout (lower, upper, cardio), but I do plan on getting exercise in while I'm down there, just not a "gym" workout.

Also Eric & I are going to organize a softball team for this summer. I'm super excited about that, too. I've been wanting to play for the last 3 years again and just haven't found a team, so this year I talked Eric into having our own team. Why not? Practice will probably start in April and games in May. Woohoo!

Brought a banana today instead of chocolate pudding. Hope that suffices. Really pushed myself last night to get all 4 bottles of water down before bed. Drank 1 bottle in about 30 minutes, so I had the bloated wave feeling in my stomach. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee like a race horse, too. :)

Did not get cardio in b/c we would have had to wait forever to get a machine. Bummer. Next week we are going to go on Tuesday mornings b/c Tuesday are always too busy to get on a machine. Also got 4.5 bottles of water in today. That's a record! I was feeling pretty bloated at work though. Need to spread it out maybe.

I am going to try to get a minimum of 4 waters in every day. It seems like that is only a problem on the weekend. Hmmm... Need to come up with a plan for weekend water. I do like it that I'm getting a cup of milk in a day and a vitamin. Each morning when I update this, IF I forget I'm always reminded here.

I bought these bagel snack things for breakfast and my plane trip. They are pretty good for you. They are sorta like a bage loaf made w/ apples, raisins and cinnamon. They are 130 cals, 3g fat (no trans fat), 310 sodium, 25g carb, and 10g protein. I got them at Sam's Club if you are wondering and they taste pretty good, too.

Not so good afternoon snack, but it is my PMS week and I crave chocolate so I was prepared. It's better than eating candy I suppose. I didn't want to buy fruit b/c I'll be gone for 4 days, so it will just rot before I eat it. Not too bad of day really so far.

Trying to figure out the BFL cardio so will probably start that next week.

Hooray! I lost .5" in my thigh. That makes me jump for joy!

My gym is making me a little upset, probably more so b/c I'm PMS-ing. Tonight was my lower body and the glute machine was broken. Damn! They always have a few cardio machines down, but not normally a weight machine. As much as I hate glutes I still have to do them. I really concentrated on my lunges tonight in spite of no glutes. I better seem some - inches in 4 weeks in my glute and the lunge is going to play a major role in that.

Comments:
Well, overall not too bad of a week. I probably would have weighed in at 148 had I not ate lots of carbs and chocolate yesterday, but it happens I guess. I'm still losing and feeling better so that's what really counts.

Didn't do as long on cardio b/c I decided to shovel the driveway when I got home. That was cardio in itself!

This week hasn't been too bad really. We've went to the gym and ate pretty good. Hadn't planned on having a free day yesterday, but it ended up that way. I just chalked it up to PMS and girl time and it didn't get me down. Today starts the first day of competition between the girls of GWO. Hopefully I will stick to the good food this week and my weigh in next week will be better. I can do it if I keep my mind to it.
